Recap Integration

Use this skill when integrating, configuring, or using the Recap library.

What to read first

Start with these files:

  • README.md
  • Sources/Recap/Public/RecapScreen.swift
  • Sources/Recap/Public/View+Recap.swift
  • Sources/Recap/Public/RecapDisplayPolicy.swift
  • Sources/Recap/Public/RecapDisplayPolicy.Trigger.swift
  • Demo/Demo/Assets/Releases.md
  • Demo/Demo/DemoRecapScreen.swift

Read additional public API files in

Sources/Recap/Public/
only if the task touches a specific type.

Core workflow

  1. Identify whether the task is about integration, release authoring, display policy, or screen customization.
  2. Prefer Recap's public APIs over custom implementations.
  3. Match existing Recap naming and examples from the README and demo app.
  4. Keep examples and release content user-facing and concise.

Integration rules

  • Prefer
    ReleasesParser(fileName:)
    for bundled release markdown.
  • Prefer
    RecapScreen(releases:)
    as the entry point for presentation.
  • Prefer
    RecapDisplayPolicy
    and
    RecapDisplayPolicy.Trigger
    over hand-rolled version gating.
  • Prefer
    .recapScreenPaginationStyle(.automatic)
    unless the user explicitly wants forced
    .labeled
    or
    .compact
    .
  • When customizing behavior, use
    View+Recap
    modifiers instead of editing internal implementation unless the task is explicitly a library change.

Release markdown rules

When creating or editing a Recap releases markdown file:

  • Keep the newest release first.
  • Follow the schema documented in
    README.md
    .
  • Use one release section per app version.
  • Use user-facing feature titles and descriptions, not commit-style summaries.
  • Choose the semantic change type (
    Major
    ,
    Minor
    ,
    Patch
    ) based on product impact, not commit count.
  • Reuse the style and structure of
    Demo/Demo/Assets/Releases.md
    .

Mac Catalyst guidance

If the task touches Mac Catalyst:

  • Preserve the distinction between automatic pagination, labeled buttons, and compact buttons.
  • Be careful not to regress iPhone or iPad behavior while changing Catalyst presentation.

Avoid

  • Do not invent a different release markdown format.
  • Do not parse releases manually if
    ReleasesParser
    is sufficient.
  • Do not replace
    RecapDisplayPolicy
    with custom version-comparison logic unless the user explicitly needs behavior outside the public API.
